NHL Rumor: Sabres' Alex Tuch Linked to Kings as Trade Target

NHL insider Pierre LeBrun suggests Buffalo Sabres right winger Alex Tuch as an 'ideal boost' for the Los Angeles Kings, who are struggling offensively. Tuch, 29, is in the final year of his $33.25 million contract ($4.75M cap hit) and is a pending UFA with a five-team no-trade clause. He has 12 goals and 32 points this season. While Sabres GM Jarmo Kekalainen might consider trading him for assets, Buffalo's recent winning streak could lead them to keep Tuch if they remain in a playoff race.
